Description

A mega escape room of modest proportions, “The Locked Room” will transport you back to the golden age of detective fiction. With Sherlock Holmes busy in London, it is you, hopeful members of the Baker Street Irregulars, who are sent to the countryside to investigate a murder at the manor.

Four teams of up to five people will compete to solve a murder against the clock, and against each other.

Who killed the Colonel? Was it his wife, whose predilection for the supernatural makes her not just suspicious but superstitious? Was it his son, just returned from his Grand Tour with more debt than he bargained for? Maybe it was the Nanny, who recently developed rather expensive (& dubious) tastes? Or was it, after all, the stalwart butler, finally throwing in the towel?

You’ll play four mini escape games, each to investigate one of the suspects. Can you solve the puzzles and crack the codes to unlock the evidence and figure out whodunnit? Why? and how?

Designed and run by Liz Cable, co- author of “Unlocking the potential of puzzle-based learning”.
